Alright, so I bought this hood for a 5 gallon tank...And me, not knowing anything about lights, went by the recommendations on the box the hood came in. I bought some incandescent "clear bright" 15 watt bulbs for the 5 gallon Aqueon hood. After putting the bulb in and turning the light on, I was very disappointed with the color and dimness of the bulb. While some people may prefer it like this, the bulb had this icky orange street light hue to it.
It makes me super uncomfortable. I'd prefer to have a white or off-white hue from the light in my tank. Much like the LED lights on my other smaller tanks.
I've already spent around $250 -$300+ on this 5 gallon alone... (on a lot of stuff I ended up not using).
So I'd really like to have my tank completed, and would rather not waste more money by not knowing what I'm doing.
Long story short, do any of you have any recommendations for white (possibly brighter)? bulbs that I can use on this 5 gallon hood?
Here are some s of my tank and the bulbs I'm using current moment:
